This isn't Facebook grandpa, you need to show your work.

I'm saddened by the amount of taxpayer money that was spent searching for 5 millionaires who went missing while on a joyride in a test vehicle.

I tried Win11 for a month before switching back. The completely unnecessary changes to the Start and right click menus killed it for me.

It felt like I'd taken my car into the shop for an engine tune-up and it came out with a square steering wheel and the gas/brake pedals were reversed.

Is it though? It kind of feels like you broke up with someone but are still getting constant updates about who they're currently fucking the minute you left.

I guess that's some people's kink.

Every time it's mentioned it's only about sending e-mail to different providers, but the analogy doesn't cover for example browsing your e-mail inbox and seeing communication from multiple sources. Just covering how one individual can send messages to multiple individuals via a common protocol is only half the picture.

Honestly it's more like the old mailing lists (Majordomo days), where individuals would subscribe to a list, but that list might also subscribe to other lists themselves, and then you throw a web interface in front of it.

I know you're using the e-mail analogy to represent how SMTP and ActivtyPub are a common protocol, but I've seen the same analogy mentioned several times and I think it only serves to muddy the waters, because it's incomplete.

I'm not sure you understand how outsourcing works ...

Do you think if the mobile Reddit apps stop working (the ones that are miles better than the official Reddit app), mobile users are going to flock to kbin/lemmy? Are there any good mobile apps? All the ones I could find are extremely alpha/beta quality.

now Twitter only comes up if Musk does something really, really, really stupid.

So... any day that ends in 'y'?
